The beauty of a Chinese landscape painting is only fully realized when it is properly mounted. A 1:1 replica of Guo Xi’s Reading the Stele from SinoInArt is not just a piece of paper; it is a fully finished hanging scroll created using traditional mounting techniques that have remained unchanged for centuries.

Our mounting process is performed by skilled artisans who understand the delicate nature of custom Xuan paper. The process involves backing the painting with several layers of thin paper to provide strength and a perfectly flat surface. This "wet mounting" method requires extreme precision to ensure there are no wrinkles or distortions in the Guo Xi masterpiece.

We use only the finest silk borders, selected to complement the muted, atmospheric tones of the Northern Song palette. The colors of the silk are chosen to enhance the artwork, framing the wintry scene with a touch of classical elegance. The scroll is then finished with high-quality wooden rollers that provide the necessary weight for it to hang perfectly on your wall.

Traditional mounting is not just for aesthetics; it is also for preservation. A mounted scroll can be rolled and unrolled without damaging the ink or the paper. This flexibility is what has allowed Chinese paintings to survive for a millennium. By using these same methods, SinoInArt ensures that your replica is as durable as it is beautiful.

When you hang a SinoInArt scroll, you are displaying a piece of living heritage. The craftsmanship involved in the mounting is a testament to our dedication to authenticity. It is the final, essential step in bringing the world of Guo Xi into the modern home.
